Canva is a fantastic tool that allows you to create beautiful designs and documents, from social media posts to presentations and more. One of the many features Canva offers is the ability to embed YouTube videos directly into your designs. This adds a dynamic element to your presentations and can make your social media posts or website more engaging. In this article, we’ll walk you through the steps on how to embed a YouTube video in Canva.
Step 1: Open Your Canva Design
The first step is to log into your Canva account and open the design where you want to embed the YouTube video. If you do not have a design ready, you can easily create a new one by selecting one of the templates offered by Canva.
Step 2: Go to Elements Tab
On the left side of the screen, you will see a tab named ‘Elements’. Click on it to reveal a range of elements that you can add to your design.
Step 3: Select “Video”
In the Elements tab, you will find an option named ‘Video’. Click on it, and a search bar will pop up.
Step 4: Paste the YouTube Video URL
In the search bar, paste the URL of the YouTube video you want to embed. Click on the video thumbnail that appears to add it to your Canva design.
Step 5: Resize and Reposition
Once the video has been added to your design, you can click and drag the corners to resize it. You can also click and drag the video around the page to reposition it.
Step 6: Preview
After you have your video positioned correctly, you can preview your design by clicking the ‘Present’ button in the top right corner. This will allow you to view the video and make sure it plays correctly within your design.
Step 7: Download or Share
Once you’re satisfied with your design, you can download it as a PDF or share it directly from Canva. Note that when you download your design, the video will be included as a clickable link, not an embedded video.
And there you have it! You’ve successfully embedded a YouTube video in your Canva design. This feature is a fantastic way to make your presentations more dynamic and engaging, and we hope this guide has made it easy for you to use.
